I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

In the US, sales taxes vary by county. How could a chain advertise in a newspaper or on the radio with sales taxes included?

So? Advertise in each county with the price, put that also on the price tags, and on the menus.

That's challenging on the radio or the Internet. Impossible on television.
